Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
You said you have calipers, if they are any good you can use the end as a depth gauge. Measure the end of the cutter to the end of the housing. Write it down. Trim case and measure, if longer is desired loosen set screw and back out cuter the desired difference. Vise-versa

I'm having trouble with my .308 version holding the right depth. I've wasted about 20 pieces of brass already. Is it just a matter of torquing the crap out of the set screws?
Not sure if this helps? Destructions say "retighten set screws equally" also "keep the trim chamber as clean as possible"Originally Posted by Rucker61
If that doesn't work I'd tighten the crap out of it.

Better beer? What are you a Hilton sister? I may be lazy, rude and smell funny, but my beer is always quality (and free).Like a lot of things in reloading, there's a little trial and error. When you start, setting up dies seems daunting. After a while, you won't think twice about it.
If you let me play with your new trimmer, I'll bring you a piece of brass that's the correct length.
Just get better beer this time.
Found my T-handle Allens and tightened the hell of it. Then the battery died after about 50 pieces. I'll finish them off tonight.Not sure if this helps? Destructions say "retighten set screws equally" also "keep the trim chamber as clean as possible"

All right. Redacted, Doctor Beer.
We started using it last night and it is the bomb! Really quick cuts that are very clean. I did a couple hundred cases and the difference in all of them was at most .001. Out of the box, it trimmed cases to 1.753.
Strongly recommended!
So...I just got my 223 World's Finest Trimmer
Good to hear. Mine should be here in a couple of days. We'll see how well it works for the .300 Blackout.
Got my trimmer today. Pretty slick. Trims my once fired cases to 1.355 right out of the box. Seems to leave my freshly sized cases about .005" to .006" longer. Guess I'll just readjust for the newly formed cases and see what happens after the first firing.
Gravedigging here, but with a purpose. I've got a .308 WFT that I'll be glad to loan to anyone, especially if they have a .223 to loan back. The .308 is good for all x08 cases like 7mm-08, .260 and .243 in addition to .308
